    Nigel - Your Case, My Scope - PPC R4878

    Nigel - was snuffling around trying to find images of PPC scope caps (Roger - was on the verge of bugging you for some photos as I'm sure you've got something in your collection, but totally distracted now.... Found a reply that Nigel had made to a thread back in 2014 showing his pristine PPC case for R4878. Incredibly, I own that scope. Had posted pictures of it but likely not the rifle number in a previous thread of Roger's. I see you are UKicon-based. Are you going to be at Imperial in July? Would be wrong not to reunite scope and case just briefly for a photo op? Attaching Nigel's original 2014 photo of his case, and my (almost pristine/perfect optics) scope. The rings are also marked to R4878.

    Now by any chance has anyone out there got a SMLE calibrated for MkVI with PPC drillings and S/N R4878?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The only time when a gun registry would be of help - and no chance to use it for such tasks!

    Unfortunately I traded the scope case to help out an ex-sniper on this site. I'll leave it up to him to decide if he wants to reunite scope and case.
